Universal Design for Learning (UDL) implementation requires intentional consideration and development of the goal or objective for any part of a lesson. This resource will support you in developing goals and/or objectives for your learning experiences by recommending questions to ask yourself as you begin, tips for creating meaningful goals, and ways to reflect on the principles of UDL as you develop these goals.

This resource is a part of the Distance Learning Series of the TIES Center.

The Australian Curriculum is currently under review and a key action for the Health and Physical Education curriculum is to review the language used to ensure the curriculum is inclusive of all learners. This session will highlight how the language we use, particularly when describing learning and achievement in movement activities, can be the difference between inclusion and exclusion of students. We will model strategies for re-thinking the language used to describe learning goals, using the UDL Framework as a reference point, to ensure all learners can be included in the curricula we design.

The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Certificate is designed to engage professors in self-directed learning, interactive group learning, one-on-one coaching, and peer-to-peer sharing activities, as they work through understanding and applying the UDL framework at progressively deeper levels. The certificate is designed to leverage and connect UDL expertise across the college to support sustainable adoption. We compare this long-term goal to the growth of the ‘rhizome’. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on how aspects of this model could be implemented at their own institutions.

Participants will:

• deepen understanding of the importance of goal setting
• examine how to craft and communicate clear goals
• explore how to design goals that are flexible without the means embedded
• design or redesign a learning goal to be clear, relevant, and rigorous.

This Power Point resource aligns to the UDL Core Foundation - level 2 credential. It describes how goals can be presented so that learners can perceive and understand them. It provides context for this UDL Knowledge Statement and examples of how to implement this in practice.
